Zhu Xianzhi's sword Qingyun

Chapter 18 The Demon's Trace Appears
Two days later in the morning, on the Tongtian Peak of Qingyun Mountain, inside the Yuqing Palace.

Reverend Daoxuan was sitting in the middle, the heads of the other six veins were also present, and at the bottom of the hall were kneeling two teenage boys.

Reverend Daoxuan looked at Zhang Xiaofan and Lin Jingyu who were kneeling there, and the figures of the two children who were rescued up the mountain five years ago reappeared in his mind. grow up.

The last meeting broke up due to the dispute between Taoist Cangsong and Tian Buyi. Now, the two teenagers from back then have been summoned. This time, a result must be reached.

He sighed deeply, and asked: "Zhang Xiaofan, where did you get the short stick in your hand?"

Reverend Daoxuan's cultivation base is profound, his voice seems to have penetrating power, Zhang Xiaofan trembled in shock.Zhang Xiaofan lowered his head, and repeated what he told Lin Jingyu earlier, naturally he still hid the part about Puzhi.

He only said that in the deep valley that day, he saw the black stick and picked it up out of curiosity, but the black stick sucked out his blood and felt nauseous, after which he passed out.Before he fell into a coma, he vaguely saw that the black stick sucked his essence and blood into the stick.

"In this way, your magic weapon is a thing refined by blood?" Daoxuan looked at Zhang Xiaofan's expression and pondered.

Tian Buyi saw Daoxuan Daoxuan was silent, so he quickly spoke up to help Zhang Xiaofan: "When Zhang Xiaofan went up the mountain, he didn't have this thing, it was just a coincidence that he got this kind of treasure on the mountain by chance, and Linger knows about it."

At this time, Taoist Cangsong said coldly from the side: "A disciple of the fourth level of Yuqing, holding this stick, almost seriously injured Qi Hao of the ninth level of Yuqing. You disciple is really lucky."

Tian Buyi's expression darkened, and he said: "Xiaofan has such a chance, of course it is his luck."

"Good luck? Who knows if it's the eyeliner inserted by the devil cultist." Taoist Cangsong said coldly.

"Master, Xiaofan is by no means a demon cultist." When it comes to Zhang Xiaofan, there is probably no one in the world who understands Zhang Xiaofan better than Lin Jingyu.Seeing that Master misunderstood Zhang Xiaofan, Lin Jingyu quickly defended his good brother.

Cangsong Taoist has always loved Lin Jingyu, but this time Lin Jingyu dared to contradict him in front of everyone, Cangsong Taoist was displeased, and hummed: "You are a half-old child, what do you know? Could you have guessed it?"

Tian Buyi said angrily: "Now that you have witnesses and you still want to do this, isn't it far-fetched and unreasonable?"

Taoist Cangsong said coldly: "I'm making too much sense? I'm just doing business!"

Seeing that the scene seemed to be getting out of control, Reverend Daoxuan quickly interjected and said, "Okay, okay, why did they start arguing again while talking, sit down, sit down."

Taoist Cangsong didn't dare to ignore the words of the sect master, so he could only sit back in his seat resentfully.

Reverend Daoxuan shook his head, turned to the others, and said: "Everyone, I actually agree with Lin Jingyu's words, thinking that Zhang Xiaofan is not a member of the Demon Cult. Although this black stick has a fierce aura, it is restrained, not like in the past. Like the demonic monsters I have seen, they are full of murderous looks and show their fierce appearance."

Reverend Daoxuan picked up the short black stick that was on the coffee table at hand, thought for a while, then threw it to Zhang Xiaofan, saying: "You must take this thing away, take it back!"

Zhang Xiaofan stretched out his hand to catch it, and immediately felt the familiar and cold aura rise up and spread all over his body, as if there was an indescribable joy like a psychic.

Zhang Xiaofan bowed deeply to Daoxuan Daoxuan, said: "Thank you, Master Master."

Reverend Daoxuan smiled, and clapped his hands three times, a boy Daoxuan came over immediately from the back of the hall, Reverend Daoxuan gave some instructions, Daotong nodded his head in response, and walked out, after a while, he led two people in.

Lin Jingyu and Zhang Xiaofan looked over, it turned out to be Qihao and Lu Xueqi.

Counting Lin Jingyu and Zhang Xiaofan, they happen to be the top four disciples of this Qingyunmen Seven Meridian Martial Art Competition.

As soon as Lin Jingyu saw the beautiful and cold Lu Xueqi, he immediately remembered what happened the day before yesterday, his face became hot, and he wanted to go up and explain to her, but he turned his head to look at the surrounding situation, and suppressed this thought again.

Daoxuan Zhenren looked at the four people in the hall, smiled and said: "Today, the four of you are coming, there is one thing, I want you to go down the mountain to experience."

When they heard that they were going down the mountain to practice, the four of them were moved together.

Daoxuan Daoxuan explained: "There is Kongsang Mountain three thousand miles away to the east, and there is an ancient cave of ten thousand bats in Kongsang Mountain. It is said that near the Wanbat Ancient Cave, there seems to be signs of demonic remnant activities. After I sent people to investigate, it turned out that the Wanbat Ancient Cave was the blood-refining hall of a branch of the Demonic Cult 800 years ago. The location of the main hall. This time, the Demon Cult monsters gathered here again, in order to find the most ominous thing hidden in it—the Blood-devouring Orb.”

"Blood-devouring bead!" Both Lin Jingyu and Qi Hao had heard the name of blood-devouring bead before, and couldn't help exclaiming.

Reverend Daoxuan nodded, and continued: "In order to stop the devil's evildoers, I have already informed Fenxiang Valley and Tianyin Temple, and together they sent their proud disciples to Kongsang Mountain to uphold the Tao and eradicate traitors. This matter is of great importance, the four of you They are the elites of my sect, so I will send you to investigate. But the demons are treacherous and vicious, so you have to be careful."

All four of them heard the seriousness of the matter, and said in unison: "Yes."

Reverend Daoxuan looked at the four of them, and added: "This time Fenxiang Valley and Tianyin Temple have sent outstanding disciples to investigate together. You must not be rude in front of others, but you must not break my Qingyun sect's aura. In addition, Brother Xiao Yicai from Nagato has already gone to Mount Kongsang to investigate this matter, if you find him, you can discuss everything."

The four looked at each other and agreed in unison.

Reverend Daoxuan took a careful look at these four younger generation disciples, and finally his eyes fell on Qi Hao, and he waved: "Qi Hao, come here."

Qi Hao was stunned for a moment, then walked forward, Reverend Daoxuan looked him up and down, then looked at Lin Jingyu, turned his head to Taoist Cangsong and said with a smile: "Both disciples are extraordinary, Junior Brother, you Long There is a successor to the first peak!"

Taoist Cangsong's expression was not very good from the beginning, now he finally showed some smiles, and said with a smile: "Brother, you are joking."

Reverend Daoxuan smiled and took out something from his bosom, handed it to Qi Hao, and said, "Take it."

Qi Hao took a look, but it turned out to be a small mirror with an ancient and clumsy shape, carved bronze edges, a dragon engraved on the top, a tiger engraved on the bottom, the gossip directions were engraved on the mirror, the middle lens was not an ordinary bronze mirror, it was too yellow to see clearly .

Before Qihao could react, Master Cangsong beside him was already beaming with joy, and shouted: "Silly boy, what are you still doing in a daze, quickly kneel down and thank you."

Qi Hao immediately came to his senses, knowing that the inconspicuous thing in his hand was probably the magic weapon "Liuhe mirror", he quickly knelt down and said, "Thank you, master master."

Reverend Daoxuan smiled and said: "No need, no need, get up!" He said to others: "Go out first!"

Everyone knew that he was going to teach Qi Hao the secret of Liuhe mirror, so Lin Jingyu withdrew them all.

Walking outside the hall, Lin Jingyu lowered his head, walked in front of Taoist Cangsong, bowed his head and said: "Master, I made you angry again."

Taoist Cangsong was obviously still angry, and he didn't talk to Lin Jingyu too much, he just threw a delicate cloth bag to Lin Jingyu, and hummed: "Be careful when you go out for the first time, and discuss everything with your senior brother." , Taoist Cangsong left with his sword.

Lin Jingyu looked at the back of his master going away, shook his head and sighed, and opened the cloth bag that Taoist Cangsong threw to him.

Lin Jingyu opened the cloth bag and looked, what was contained in the cloth bag was actually a handful of gleaming gold leaves, and several priceless pearls.It turned out that the master knew that he was going down the mountain today, and even prepared the trip for him.

Longshou Peak has a lot of estates in the world, this amount of money may not be considered a big deal to Cangsong Taoist, but this dedication is extremely rare, only seeing Lin Jingyu's heart warmed up.

Although Master was angry with him, he still cared about him all the time.

After Taoist Cangsong left, Lin Jingyu looked at Lu Xueqi at the side, couldn't hold back the distress in his heart anymore, pulled Lu Xueqi's sleeve, pulled her to an empty side, and explained: "Junior Sister Lu, I'm really not the kind of person you imagined, that book is not mine, it's just someone else left me."

Lu Xueqi stared deeply at Lin Jingyu with a pair of cold eyes, and said calmly after a while: "Your master is the law enforcement elder of Qingyun sect, why did you explain it to me?"

After finishing speaking, Lin Jingyu was left with a spotless white figure, and walked to the side by himself, leaving Lin Jingyu there helplessly.

Seeing Lin Jingyu's lost look, Zhang Xiaofan walked to Lin Jingyu's side, put Lin Jingyu's shoulders on his shoulders, and said seriously: "Jingyu, I suddenly started to believe what Shushu said."

"What?" Lin Jingyu asked curiously.

"Heroes save the beauty." Zhang Xiaofan patted Lin Jingyu's shoulder and said with a smile.

After a while, Qi Hao happily took the Liuhe mirror and walked out of the Yuqing Hall.

Qi Hao walked up to the three of them, and said: "This is the top of the mountain. Except for the head of Qimai, the rest of the disciples cannot use their swords. Let's go down to the sea of ​​clouds, and from there, let's fly to Heyang City with our swords!"

Among the younger generation of disciples, Qi Hao was originally a highly respected figure, the three of them nodded and followed Qi Hao down.

After getting off the sea of ​​clouds, they arrived at the place where the disciples could hold their swords. All four of them sacrificed their magic weapons and prepared to set off with their swords.

Lin Jingyu is a blue dragon-slaying sword, Qi Hao is a white ice sword, Lu Xueqi is a blue Tianya sword, and Zhang Xiaofan is that weird fire stick.

Zhang Xiaofan has just learned the art of controlling the sword not long ago, he is still not proficient, he spent a lot of effort, and then he wobbled up the fire stick.

"Xiaofan, or you can go with me." Lin Jingyu saw that Zhang Xiaofan seemed to be struggling, so he asked.

Zhang Xiaofan shook his head, and replied with stubborn eyes: "It's okay, I can do it myself." After speaking, Zhang Xiaofan set off with a fire stick.

Zhang Xiaofan had just learned the art of controlling the sword, his body was still a little shaky when flying the flying sword, Lin Jingyu was afraid that Zhang Xiaofan would fall, so he stayed by his side all the time, lending a helping hand from time to time.

With the help of Lin Jingyu, the four of them finally rushed to the outside of Heyang City before going down the mountain.

Heyang City is an important town in the world, where business travelers gather and it is extremely lively.

Lin Jingyu was walking on the streets of Heyang City, looking left and right, he felt like he was shopping.

Prior to this, in order to avoid trouble, they had changed the clothes of Qingyunmen disciples early in the morning, which did not arouse any suspicion, but Lu Xueqi's beautiful appearance caused quite a stir, causing many passers-by to stop and watch .

Fortunately, Lu Xueqi had a very high level of self-restraint, and she didn't have an outbreak, and endured until the inn they stayed in - Shanhaiyuan.

Shanhaiyuan is one of the best inns in Heyang City. It is quite large in scale. There are four other gardens in the back garden. The four of them live in Xiyuan, each with a room. Restaurant for dinner.

Shanhaiyuan's self-built restaurant is located on the busiest street in Heyang City, but in the VIP room on the third floor, it is very clean. There are less than ten tables in the spacious hall, and there are about five tables now. There are guests eating.Qi Hao called Xiao Er, and ordered a few dishes. It seems that he is very familiar with this place, and he is probably a regular customer.

The four of them sat on a small table by the window. After a while, the waiter brought several plates of side dishes to the table, especially a plate of fresh stewed fish at the end. Sub-round, narrow rear side, dark brown body, with two pairs of whiskers, thick and long.The most important thing is that the meat is white and moist, and the aroma is overflowing, which immediately makes people's index fingers move.

Zhang Xiaofan has always been interested in cooking, and he has never seen this kind of fish, so he couldn't help but ask the waiter: "Brother, what is this fish called, and how is it cooked?"

Xiaoer chuckled, and said: "Guest officer, you really have vision. This stewed mei fish is our Shanhaiyuan's signature dish. It is fragrant, smooth and tender, and sweet in the mouth. It is within a hundred miles of Heyang City, but Greatly famous."

Zhang Xiaofan swallowed his saliva, picked up the chopsticks, took a bite into his mouth, immediately closed his eyes and nodded, "Ah! The quality of the meat is really good, but it's cooked better, some sugar is added for sweetness, and ginger slices are added. Fishy, ​​uh, it smells like sautéed shallots, so it must be fresh shallots. Ah! The most rare thing is the combination of pepper, five spices, eh... by the way, and sesame oil, it’s amazing, amazing! "

Lin Jingyu looked straight at Zhang Xiaofan's intoxicated face, and joked: "Xiaofan is indeed the chef of Dazhufeng, he really has two brushes."

Even the shop waiter who was standing at the side was really admiring, and boasted loudly: "The guest officer is really a connoisseur, he knows the goods!"

Zhang Xiaofan blushed, quickly put down his chopsticks, but still asked, "Excuse me, little brother, where did this sleepy fish come from?"

Before the waiter could speak, he suddenly heard a woman's voice at a large table next door saying: "This sleepy fish is a special product of Zhugou Mountain in the south. It is thousands of miles away. How can you bring it here? Isn't your shop a lie? ?"

Everyone was startled, looked over, and saw eight people sitting on that big table, six men in yellow clothes, and two women, one woman was wearing a lavender dress with a mask on her face. Qingsha, I can't see her face clearly, but the exposed skin is white; the other woman is the speaker, she is not very old, she looks only sixteen or seventeen years old, she is dressed in aqua green clothes, she has a beautiful appearance, and her eyebrows are snow-white Skinny skin, a pair of bright big eyes are extremely agile, making people's eyes bright, even compared to Lu Xueqi's.

Zhang Xiaofan said "ah", but after seeing that woman said these words, his eyes fell on Lu Xueqi at his table, he seemed also surprised by Lu Xueqi's appearance.Girls love beauty, even women like Lu Xueqi, who are usually as cold as ice, can't help but look at that woman more at this moment.

The waiter at the shop apologized at this time and said with a smile: "What the guest officer said is true, but you don't know that a hundred years ago, the sleepy fish was indeed unique to Zhugou Mountain in the south. This sleepy fish was moved back and placed in the torrent of Qingyun Mountain, and now it has not only survived, but also gradually prospered. We all owed the blessing of Daoxuan Immortal on Qingyun Mountain to have this blessing!" He said As he spoke, a look of extreme reverence appeared on his face.

After hearing this, the young girl turned her head and looked at the woman covered in light veil, sat back, but snorted.

The masked woman also glanced lightly at this side, but when she saw Lin Jingyu who was sitting next to Zhang Xiaofan with Zhanlong on his back, she froze for a moment, a moment later, a trace of sadness flashed across the woman's face However, he asked Lin Jingyu excitedly: "Young man, can you lend me the sword behind your back?"

Seeing the woman's agitated tone, Lin Jingyu felt a little baffled, shook his head and refused: "The master has a life, the sword is always with you, please forgive me for not borrowing it."

"Master?" The masked woman asked in a tone of nostalgia and sadness, "Who is your master?"

"Jing Yu's master is Qingyun Gaoren, his name should not be spread outside, please forgive me." Qi Hao saw that these women's clothes and behavior did not look like ordinary people, so he stood up and refused for Lin Jingyu.

The masked woman looked at Lin Jingyu's resemblance to that person, then looked at the dragon-slaying sword that was flowing with green light, and murmured: "Master Qingyun, I think it's probably you. It's just that I can't think of it. I don't see, you have even passed on the Dragon Slaying Sword."

Hearing what the woman said, she actually regarded Lin Jingyu as Wan Jianyi's disciple.

Everyone in Qingyun will set off for Kongsang Mountain early tomorrow morning, and they all go back to their rooms to rest early after eating.

Seeing them leave, the masked woman put her head next to the girl in green, and said: "The leader is Qi Hao from Longshoufeng's lineage. I have never seen the other three people. It's just the boy who carried the dragon on his back. This person Talent and cultivation are extraordinary, if you meet him, you need to be careful."

"Dragon Slaying Sword?" The green-clothed girl smiled slightly, and said, "I think that Xiaofan is quite interesting. Listen, Aunt You, what an earthy name."
